American Flag Fruit Tray
This super cute American flag fruit tray is so easy to make, and a great addition to your 4th of July or Memorial Day festivities!
This fruit tray is great for indoor or outdoor parties, and contains ingredients that people of all ages love!
I quickly grabbed all the ingredients on my weekly trip to the local grocery store. I then used a baking sheet that I had at home for the tray! You may use any large rectangle baking sheet, tray or platter that you have for your American flag fruit tray!
INGREDIENTS:
I used fresh blueberries, fresh raspberries, fresh strawberries, fresh cherries, yogurt covered pretzels and mini marshmallows! If you do not care for one of these ingredients, simply sub it out for another of the ingredients that you prefer! It's still just as cute if you have two or three lines of the same thing, such as all three red lines being strawberries!
MONEY SAVING TIP: You may make this American flag fruit tray with whatever is on sale at your local grocery store that week. For example, if strawberries are on sale, then make all three red lines out of the strawberries. If marshmallows are on sale, then make both of the white lines with mini marshmallows.
HOW TO:
To make your flag fruit tray, select a platter to use and gather your ingredients. Next, place the blueberries in a small bowl and put at the top left corner of the platter. Starting from the top and moving down, begin making your lines out of the following ingredients: strawberries, mini marshmallows, cherries, yogurt covered pretzels and raspberries.
OPTIONAL: If you're feeling really creative, use a small star shaped cookie cutter to cut small stars out of cookies or tortillas. Sprinkle a few "stars" that you make on top of the bowl of blueberries. Another option is to place a fruit dip off to the side of the platter for guests to dip their fruit in if desired.
